Put the <em>wood and excess oxygen in a closed contai</em>ner that contains some device that can create a spark (to start the reaction).
Determine the <em>mass of container + contents</em>.
<em>Start the reaction</em> and, after everything has cooled down, again determine the <em>mass of container + contents</em>.
If the two masses are the same, you have demonstrated that the reaction obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass.
Answer:
C. 70%
Explanation:
Atomic Mass of the silicon = 28 g.
Atomic mass of the Carbon = 12 g.
Total mass of the Silicon Carbide = 28 + 12
= 40 g.
Now, Using the formula.
% Composition = Mass of the silicon/Total mass of the compound × 100 %
= 28/40 × 100 %
= 70 %
Hence, % composition of the silicon in SiC is 70%
A major concept to remember: “Nature seeks the lowest energy state”. In the lowest energy state, things are most stable...less likely to change. The following information that talks about stability is all based on the nucleus tending towards the lowest energy state. Stable atoms have low energy states.

Answer:
The oxidation number of an atom is the charge it appears to have when you count the electrons according to some arbitrary rules. The oxidation number of an atom depends on the other atoms in the substance.
Explanation:
For example, In KCl, the oxidation number of Cl is 0.
